Which prophet predicted the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost?

• A. Joel
• B. Isaiah
• C. Daniel
• D. Ezekiel

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is identifying who predicted the Spirit’s outpouring that Pentecost would fulfill. Joel is the prophet who spoke of God pouring out His Spirit on all flesh in the last days, with your sons and daughters prophesying and wonders accompanying the sign. Peter later cites Joel’s words at Pentecost, showing that what the believers experience that day is the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy. The other prophets—Isaiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel—have important messages about the Spirit and God’s work, but none articulate this specific outpouring being poured out on all people in the last days in the way Joel does, nor do they tie it directly to the Pentecost event.
